10 Simple Ways to Increase Your Website’s Ranking

There are sev­eral ways to make your web­site more search engine friendly. Here are some of the sim­ple ones:

1. Add a Title (Head­ing) Tag to each page, also known as a Page Title. This should relate to what is on each indi­vid­ual page.
2. Add a Meta Descrip­tion to each page (no more than 150 characters).
3. Research and and add Key­words to all the pages. Again, should relate to the copy.
4. Reg­is­ter your site with the major search engines (Google, Yahoo!, Bing).
5. Set up a site map which should include all your pages.
6. Make sure you are listed on the major online local direc­to­ries in your field.
7. Cre­ate a blog on your site, or link to it and write reg­u­lar, remark­able copy (such as this). This let’s your cus­tomers inter­act with your com­pany on a reg­u­lar basis instead of just hav­ing a brochure online. We rec­om­mend using WordPress.org.
8. Cre­ate a Twit­ter account and con­tribute to it reg­u­larly. Give help­ful infor­ma­tion and links as well as tell about yourself.
9. Cre­ate a Face­book Fan page for your com­pany and cre­ate con­tent regularly.
10. Get as many links to your site from other high rank­ing sites. This can be the result of hav­ing great con­tent on your site.

This is just the begin­ning. Search Engine Opti­miza­tion is a great way to get your web­site known. Being listed high up on the search engine results pages can be quite a com­plex and ever chang­ing chal­lenge. Enjoy. Or hire the professional.
